President of Serbian List Goran Rakic told Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) that these elections directly decide the future of the Serbian people in Kosovo.

''It's simple situation, on October 6, our citizens are deciding whether they will have representatives in the Assembly in Pristina who will bravely fight for their interests or we will allow ourselves to be represented by Pristina’s favourites, who no longer hide but brag about the support they receive from Albanians,'' Rakic said.

The newly formed coalition of Kosovo's Serbs will go to the polls on 6 October and participate in an unequal and difficult battle, writes Belgrade based daily Danas.

President of the European Movement of Serbs from Kosovo and member of the newly formed coalition, Rada Trajkovic, told Danas that the Serbian List has already begun campaigning against this newly formed coalition, but that it nonetheless expects solid results.

RTK2 reports that President of the Serbian List Goran Rakic said during his visit to the Municipality of Gracanica that the ban on employment in the public sector would be lifted very soon, so that, as he said, there would be new jobs very soon. Rakic said that youth employment is expected, adding that it means survival in the area.
